The biggest freak athletes at the 2018 NFL combine

Mark J. Rebilas/USA TODAY Sports

As 2018 NFL draft prospects engage in drills and tests at the scouting combine in Indianapolis this week, let's take a look at five players with the extreme skills and athleticism to turn heads:


Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville

Measurables: 6-3, 210 pounds

Jackson reportedly ran the 40-yard dash in the 4.3s in the spring of 2017 and low 4.4s in the spring of 2016. Michael Vick ran a 4.33 at his pro day, and like Vick, Jackson has excellent arm strength. So look for the comparisons to continue to gain momentum if Jackson runs a sub-4.4 and spins the ball the way he's capable of during throwing drills. The way Jackson performs on the whiteboard and interviews with teams will have a bigger impact on his draft stock than his workout -- as is the case with any quarterback -- but that doesn't mean people shouldn't enjoy the show he puts on during tests and drills.
